An understanding of God's resources alloted to me.
Luke 6:30 “Give to everyone who ask of you.” This verse really struck me pretty hard. I thought about how generous I was with my money. I thought about how few people ask me for help or money or anything, and how much God has blessed me. I am really tight fisted when it comes to my resources. Time and money are the 2 that I try to control the most and withhold for myself. The only problem is that withholding these things doesn’t bing me any joy. I find the most joy when I am sharing my time, money, and other resources with others. I often forget the simple fact that none of my resources are actually mine nor do I control the amount alloted to me.
Question of the Week
I was wondering about this after hearing a sermon on the Prodigal Son parable. If we buy into pre-destination or preservation of the saints, was the prodigal son a Christian archetype before he left and then returned or did he only become a Christian archetype after he returned?
